India-Central Asia Energy Cooperation : A Study from the Perspective of India’s Energy Security

Author(s) Mr. Gajanand Mohan Junjate
Country India
Abstract Energy security has emerged as a central component of India’s foreign policy and economic development, particularly in the context of its growing energy requirements, rapid industrialization, and substantial dependence on imported hydrocarbons. In this context, Central Asia, endowed with significant reserves of oil, natural gas, uranium, and hydropower resources, occupies an important position in India’s search for diversified and reliable sources of energy. This study examines the evolving nature of India - Central Asia energy cooperation from the perspective of India’s energy security. It explores the major areas of cooperation, including hydrocarbons, civil nuclear energy, renewable energy, and regional energy connectivity. The study argues that enhanced energy cooperation with Central Asia can contribute to the diversification of India’s energy sources and strengthen its long-term energy security. However, the success of such cooperation depends upon improved regional connectivity, stronger institutional mechanisms, strategic investments, and sustained diplomatic engagement. By analysing both the opportunities and challenges of India–Central Asia energy relations, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of Central Asia in India’s evolving energy security strategy and its broader engagement with the Central Asia.
